(the creature is not, i think, particularly obscure; but does require
thinking outside the box.

(Comment, not question: That means it's probably a more "fabulous"
animal, like dragon. As it's not in one of the main works by Tolkien,
let's try to narrow down the universe:)

9. Is it mentioned in one of the stories in "Fabulous Tales" (or whatever
the English title is), i.e. "Farmer Giles of Ham", "Smith of Wooton Major",
or "Leaf by Niggle"?
